Mary and Baby Jesus–on Velum
We have had so many suggestions of other ways to decorate or fill the glass ornaments that it has really inspired us. So, we’ve gathered pictures of some of the ideas and will show you how to do a couple others.
So brace yourself–
Marbleized Glass Ornaments
Rinse inside of ornament with a solution of 1 part water and 3 parts vinegar. Let dry.
Squeeze a quarter sized dollop of acrylic paint into ornament. Roll it around until paint begins to cover the inside.
Add a second color if you want to and roll it some more. Turn ornament upside-down in a paper cup or–onto a paper towel to drain excess paint. Allow to dry for a day or two.
The paint marbleizes as it dries. Now you can put the hanger back on.
I love how these turn out- you can get some great color combinations- dj had fun with them a few years ago- its fun to make a set for newlyweds! one of the ladies I worked with would make them and sell them at craft fairs!
